There are several traditions you count on every fall in New Mexico. The Albuquerque international balloon festival; where 1000′s of balloons from around the world fill the sky every morning for two weeks.

Nearly every street corner boasting a chile roasting stand where New Mexico’s prized possession of green chile is roasted, bagged, and taken home to be peeled and frozen to ensure locals have it on stock until the next harvest year, and…

Albuquerque producer Diles’ (@diles_tellem) annual album “Green Chile In The Air” which continually features artists from ABQ, across the U.S.A and countries around the globe. This year marks the 5th year in the series and could be the most potent batch yet.

Having featured artists from cities such as Denver, Colorado Springs, Vancouver,Taos, LA, Chicago, Libreville (Africa), Luasanne (Switzerland), Port-of-Spain (Trinidad), Bordeaux (France), Bluefields (Nicaragua) and more… the Green Chile In The Air series is doing its part in sending New Mexico vibes out into the world via sound waves instead of our traditional export (Green Chile itself).
